Willdan Performance Engineering

Ever wonder what it takes to lead a team to success every single day? Meet Willie Wright, our General Superintendent, and the man who keeps things moving with a whole lot of heart. Willie is proof of how great things happen when we have each other’s backs. When a team stays accountable and works together, there’s nothing they can’t achieve. This is his story, his day, and his impact. #Accountability #Teamwork #ADayInTheLife #BehindTheScenes #WeAreBetterTogether #Willdan #WinWithWilldan

It has been a huge honor to work with Zach Ming at E3 over the past decade+ and so I'm thrilled announce his promotion to Partner at Energy and Environmental Economics, Inc. Zach's clients love working with him because he's super smart, hard working, and he cares deeply about creating rational markets in the electricity sector. Here's to a great start to 2025, and to all that we can accomplish in the energy transition going forward!

The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) was created in 1935 to provide reliable, affordable housing for low- and moderate-income New Yorkers. Comprised of 22 eight-story buildings and 1,500 apartments, Louis Heaton Pink Houses have been a home for thousands of Brooklyn families for over 65 years. But like many other aging NYCHA properties, Pink Houses has been in dire need of modernization to better serve both residents and the environment. That’s where our work began. Willdan was engaged by NYCHA to provide innovative thermal load solutions for greenhouse gas emissions reductions including upgrades to the heating and hot water infrastructure and introduction of innovative electrification measures. For NYCHA, this project improves resident comfort indoors, domestic hot water availability, and heating reliability while slashing the City’s fossil fuel use by 40%—a major step toward NYC’s bold climate goals under Local Law 97. But what this means to the thousands of residents who call Pink Houses home is much deeper: with these changes, residents have more reliable heating, experience fewer service disruptions, and benefit from a healthier living environment which equates to warmer homes in the winter, cleaner air for the kids playing outside, and a community taking a huge step forward toward a better tomorrow. It's all about making life better for the people who call the Pink Houses home. And we couldn’t be prouder to be a part of that story. #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #CommunityImpact #NYCHA #PinkHouses #WilldanPerformanceEngineering

Here's to 2025! ✨ Wishing everyone an unforgettable year - let's toast to the challenges we'll conquer, the wins we'll celebrate, and the moments that make it all worthwhile. 🥂 #HappyNewYear #2025 #Cheers #Willdan 

AND THE WINNER IS… 🏆 This year, we’re wrapping things up with a nod to the people who make our team truly special. From the “Most likely to forget they’re muted” to the “Most likely to have an entire conversation in GIFs,” it’s the little things that drive our success and keep things interesting every day.💪 🎥 Hit play to meet the stars of the show! #StaffSuperlatives #2024Highlights #CelebratingExcellence #WinWithWilldan #Willdan

🎉 Happy Festivus! Time to break out the celebratory Festivus pole and celebrate Feats of Strength (like carrying the team through that impossible project deadline) and the Airing of Grievances (seriously, can everyone please stop hitting "reply all" to emails?). Wishing you a day filled with laughter and joy, and an abundance of Festivus Miracles (front row parking space? Score!). #FestivusForTheRestOfUs #FeatsOfStrength #AiringOfGrievances #Festivus2024 #Willdan

E3’s recent report, published last week as part of Virginia’s Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission data center study is a comprehensive analysis around grid and ratepayer impacts of continued data center growth. https://lnkd.in/g655tdxh There's a lot of interesting findings and insights in the study such as the following: ▶ Seasonal Shape and Peaks: Data center loads are fairly flat with a relatively mild seasonal pattern with a summer peak. The magnitude of projected data center load growth means that Virginia’s electric system will remain summer peaking over time. Without significant data center growth, the system would transition to winter peaking. This shift has major implications for the types of generation resources needed to maintain reliability over time. (See pages 45-47 of our report for details.) ▶ Infrastructure and Policy Scenarios: We analyze the infrastructure required to reliably serve new data center load under scenarios with and without clean energy policy targets. ▶ Ratepayer Impacts and Load Flexibility: The study evaluates both historical and potential future ratepayer impacts, along with the benefits of flexible data center loads in supporting grid operations. The scale and growth of data centers bring unique challenges and potential economic opportunities for electricity systems that are seeing or expecting this growth. I encourage those interested in grid planning and ratepayer impacts related to large data center growth to explore the report. #EnergyInfrastructure #DataCenters #LoadGrowth #GridReliability #EnergyPlanning

100 years old never looked so good! 🎉 This year, the iconic Balboa Theater celebrates a century of delighting the City of San Diego. From its humble beginnings as a vaudeville and cinema theatre in 1924 to becoming a premier venue for world-class performances, music, dance, and comedy, the Balboa Theater has hosted legends like Jerry Seinfeld, Chelsea Handler, and Chris Rock, along with award-winning productions such as Wicked and Moulin Rouge. Each year, it continues to welcome hundreds of thousands of patrons and enrich the community. We're proud to have supported its journey with sustainable upgrades in 2019 that preserved its historic charm while enhancing comfort and energy efficiency through modernized lighting, HVAC systems, and solar PV upgrades. Here’s to the next 100 years of making memories! #BalboaTheater #SanDiego #100Years #Centennial #Sustainability #Willdan #NAESCO
